Alison G @RT82429044 2h This is the only movie I have felt strongly enough about to comment on. For me, the long-lost father is insincere, self-serving and selfish. He had affairs throughout his marriage, abandoned his lover and their son, then resurfaces and asks his son, not only for forgiveness for not being there for 30 years, but also asks him to help the father commit suicide. After the son gives his father the lethal concoction, the father jumps into the waterfall. What was the point of putting his son through this ordeal if he was going to kill himself anyway by jumping off the bridge into the waterfall? This is a frustrating and infuriating portrayal of a sexist, misogynist who still gets what he wants in death. It's all about manipulation and selfishness. Very disappointing.

I want my adopted son, who's father drowned when he was 8 years old, to see this and contact his other mother before one of us dies. Could be anyone of us, so wish me luck, sending him the link now. Daughter has not spoken to me for a long time. Her father is also dead. He was a sea captain, but died in a care home. I went to say goodbye to him and it was very sad to see that big handsome man so tiny in his wheelchair. He lived another 11 months, such was the strength of he, my silver haired viking. So watch this magnificent film, I think I am well qualified to implore you to watch it. Then pick up the telephone and RING your parent/child /friend, don't wait until it's too late. Everything is good about this work, from the superb acting, scenery, music, the timing, the words not spoken. My hat's off to all of you, truly👌Excellent See more Read all reviews
